Alexander Kennedy

  Research Notes:

Carolyn Darby notes:
I shared the attached c.1910 (from the look of my Dad's age) photo with you (just found it in my computer as a jpeg which should go through to you)? It is so full of females who I think must be Kennedys because Sheila Cameron (nee Ellison, daughter of Vera, nee Kennedy, daughter of Alexander--son of James who arrived Aust with Margaret who married John Plant Wright--married Edwin Ellison) had the same photo but without any caption on the back. My mother identified a few of them and I have recently rediscovered Trish Prince, nee Kennedy, one of two daughters of the only child of John McLeod Kennedy one of three brothers to my grandmother, Mary Margaret Symes (died 1930).
